I'm using Expo Go
Describe the problem
It seems like something in 10X broke react native auth persistence in Expo.
Changing to ^9.19.0 resolves the issue.
Would be nice to fix this in 10.X so that we can benefit from all of the other updates.
Steps and code to reproduce issue
If you implement react native persistence as follows:
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage'
import { initializeApp, getApps, getApp } from 'firebase/app'
import {
initializeAuth,
getReactNativePersistence,
} from 'firebase/auth'
const firebaseAuth = initializeAuth(firebaseApp, {
persistence: getReactNativePersistence(AsyncStorage),
})
And then in your main app file:
export default function Home() {
const [loggedIn, setLoggedIn] = useState<boolean | null>(null)
useEffect(() => {
const unsubsribe = firebaseAuth.onAuthStateChanged((user) => {
console.log('Current user, user)
setLoggedIn(Boolean(user))
})
return () => {
unsubsribe()
}
}, [])
if (loggedIn === false) {
return <Redirect href='/signin' />
}
After creating an account, onAuthState is called.
If I kill the app and come back, it is not. The onAuthState never gets called on initial page load.
Also, if you just do getAuth().currentUser it's always null
